cool thing is that you can just use arrow keys to move forward and look around and if you come to intersection you can easily follow another road

they even cover small streets...

friends of mine in palo alto live in a dead end street and the drove by there too... even though palo alto is not listed street view covers almost all of the peninsula!

great tool, a little slow though... a little laggy and the picture quality could be better... but overall a great addition to GM... hopefully GE will get this as a plugin soon! then it must works faster too since it won't have to run as a web plugin;-)

Sorry, Microsoft - but this blows away the initial Street Level attempt that was made previously, in all around usability and streaming speed. This is an incredibly smart integration of Flash in the Maps model.

My bias is now officially even greater. (Does that sound dirty to you? Yikes.)

Incredible! One should make sure to look at San Francisco region as the photos are much higher resolution than in the other cities. In full screen mode it works great. Also I found that it was fastest to navigate using the arrows on the keypad, using '+','-' when you wanted to zoom in. The response when using the mouse was a little slower and more cumbersome. The draw of the purple streetview regions seemed to slow the map view quite a bit, although hopefully they will improve this eventually. It would be cool to see some form of this in Google Earth. One could potentially even match up the current camera angles between the street view and GE.

i dunno why, but it caught my eye that in that google team in that easter egg there's not one african american... some googster with asian roots, some googsters looking indian/pakistani, and some caucasians... but not one african american...
